Translation:
In the fifth month of pregnancy:
– the uterus is pointing up and hurts
– it inflates, rises up and crushes the lungs.
– velvety inside, stretched outside, the uterus takes possession of the body: redefines its shapes, its outline, its function.
Being both:
– an inside and an outside
– a box and its content
– a world and its frontier
– an organ, a prison, a universe
A universe below which dangles the limp relic of an textureless sexual organ.
The mouth, lips kept silent, guardians of a precious secret.
There was an alternative video for these drawings. Which do you prefer?
Translation:
Sometimes, it’s like a hard tip that rises and hurts.
Expansion, growth, swelling of the life carrying organs until it crushes the lungs, and lifts the diaphragm up.
So stretched out, but surely soft and velvety inside.
Touching, feeling a presence on both sides of the abdominal skin.
The abdomen overtakes the body, redefines the shape, the outline, the function.
And becomes at once:
– an inside and an outside
– a box and its content
– a world and its frontier
– an organ, a prison, a universe
A universe below which dangles the limp relic of an textureless sexual organ. The lips are the silent guardians of a secret passage.
